Alaska Weather

[Zace]

We will be sailing to Alaska from San Francisco on the Regal Princess on July 15th. What type of weather can we expect in Alaska?

It could be anything... It was anywhere from the low 50's as we sailed through the fjords and past glaciers to the 80s. Bring lots of layers.

Hi Zace
My name is Tony (bunnyman1958 )and i see you are on the Regal to Alaska on July 15th.There are a small group of us on the same cruise and we do have a roll call going on,just look for '"Trying again Regal to Alaska july 15th" usually on page 1 or 2 and drop by for a chat.We all plan on meeting for a small sailaway party and it would be nice to have a few more people join us.There are 2 or 3 of us that did this same cruise 2 years agao and had a blast so we decided to do it again. So drop by and say hi.

Tony,Debby and the rest of the July 15th Regal cruisers. :D :cool:

arrived in Anchorage eve. of 6/19 - it was in the high 70s (and light practically all night)
fished in King Salmon (Bristol Bay) 6/20 - in the 70s - sunburned face
fished K/S 6/21 - in the 70s - sunburned face (would've thought I'd learn)
fished K/S 6/22 - in the high 60s -
fished Brooks Falls 6/23 - in the high 70s (overcast & threatening in King Salmon but sunny & warm at Katmai Nat'l Park)
fished K/S 6/24 - rainy all day in the 60s (never stopped)
Whittier 6/25 - 25mph+ winds - tunnel delays due to the high winds in Whittier - on the other side (Portage Valley) calm as a cucumber and WARM - close to 80

so in addition to layers, I suggest SUN BLOCK (which will also protect in case of wind).
